OhLife is simple, but surprisingly effective: It sends you an email every day, and you respond with your entry for that day (apparently you can also attach a picture, but I haven't tried that feature). The email it sends you also includes earlier entries you've written, starting with yesterday's and then from the previous week, month, and year as you've gotten that far. That's basically all there is to it-- it doesn't sound like much, but I've gotten hooked, writing at least a few paragraphs every day. I think it should also be an excellent tool for practicing Lojban. It gives you a reminder to write something every day, it's private so you don't have to feel self-conscious about what you write, and it sends you old entries so you can get some reading practice and hopefully see how much your Lojban has developed. The advice I've always heard from everyone who's ever mastered anything is to practice daily. If you can start with even a sentence or two a day it'd probably do a lot to accelerate your learning. mi'e la stela selckiku mu'o -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "lojban" group.
